VEGA CONTRERAS, Nelson Alfonso  and  RIVERA CAICEDO, Christian. Bibliometric Analysis of the Effect of Light on Phycobiliproteins Production. TecnoL. [online]. 2022, vol.25, n.54, e303.  Epub Oct 28, 2022. ISSN 0123-7799.  https://doi.org/10.22430/22565337.2386.

The purpose of the research is to make known the importance of the use of light as a mechanism of the utilization of microalgae for the production of phycobiliproteins, as a contribution to industrial biotechnology, which provides information on conditions and crop parameters, since several studies have shown that red light favors the growth of biomass, while red and blue wavelengths commonly promote the concentration and production of phycobiliproteins, which depends on the genus, species, strain, and environmental conditions, as well as their native conditions, since this mechanism is generated as an adaptive response, so it is necessary to investigate to understand these phenomena. The methodology was based on a documentary analysis through VOSviewer using the Web Of Science database, in which the words "Microalgae Pigment Light effect" were used which allowed us to conclude that there is a correlation of words focused on the production of biofuels, such as carotenoids, anthoxanthin, beta carotenes, and lutein, taking advantage of the use of light as a determining factor, taking into account that the strains that are most related to these studies are: Spirulina plantesis, Chrorella Vulgaris and chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The knowledge of the application of these pigments is wide, so the study of pigment production from microalgae evaluating the effect of light has become a topic of great interest, especially for the pigment market.

Keywords : Chromaticity; biomass; phycobilisome; phycocyanin; microalgae.
